At a time of massive inequality and when the people on top have never had it so good, I cannot in good conscience vote for a bill that hurts working people.
Man's a Saint. ❤ And he's still as sharp as ever meanwhile we have Biden who is fading fast. Joe should be at home with his grandchildren and just enjoying his last few years of life. And to add insult to injury, the DNC had the nerve to tell us that Bernie was "too old' in the last primary...🤦♂️
For what? He's not doing anything. He doesn't make waves when it counts, this is purely ceremonial. He and a few other progressives will vote against it, and it won't matter. What's more they would vote for it if it were in danger of failing.
The debt ceiling was instituted in 1917. So for over a hundred years no one has ever seen it as a violation of the 14th amendment. And there is no way in hell the current majority right-wing Supreme Court will see it that way. Any attempt to use the 14th amendment to avoid defaulting on the nation's debt will be struck down by the highest court in the land. Such is the lot of this pitiable nation.
The 14th Amendment has never been tested in court. If Biden invoked the 14th, which I was for, and the idiotic SC struck it down, the US would immediately be in default if a backup debt limit raise wasn't in law as a precaution.
What I can't understand is why there are so many Americans that don't try to block corruption. In the government and everywhere else. What we have about 8 people in congress who condemn corruption. France pointed this out about the u s back in the Watergate scandal.
A man who is willing to reason in a serious manner with any position of power. A man who cares for the American citizen that's my president right there
@@liamgustison3520 Nearly 85 now, finally retired, I was a longtime advocate for women's workplace diversity and advancement from posts in my native Illinois and then here in North Carolina. Anyone, female or male, who would choose to run against Sen. Sanders, will have to present their credentials--including diverse experience, tenacity and courage--to be compared to his. Sanders, who holds a degree in economics from the prestigious University of Chicago, has amassed a serious, admirable public service record over decades. First as the re-elected mayor of Vermont's largest city (which received national attention during his tenure), then re-elected as his state's lone US representative and now its strong, re-elected senior US senator. A still-in-circulation August 1963 Chicago newspaper photo showed a policeman "helping" Bernie to the ground for marching against segregation. It introduced Bernie to me and to so many others across our nation. The years since have not dimmed the man's commitment to All of Us, while Vermont support for him continues strong and nation-wide recognition and support grows. Honored with national service awards from the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars (different years). Recipient of two honorary degrees. Many Etc. Nobody's perfect, and Sanders has never claimed to be. But, he earned his diverse public service posts strongly, and our nation is far better for his intellect, stamina, and wide-ranging, well-researched work for All of Us. I know many of us--of all ages- hope it is for many years to come.

All Bernie does is vote for bills that hurt poor people. He voted for Obama care that codified people having to buy their healthcare at the company store and locked into a system where they get overpriced lousy service with high deductibles. He voted with Democrats to use high taxes and open immigration to drive down wages at the bottom and drive up housing prices at the same time. To the point tens of millions of Americans don't have any money left over at the end of the month. And it's the low wages at the bottom that allows the excesses at the top. Causing the wealth gap. If Bernie actually cared about poor and working class people Bernie would be a Kennedy Reagan conservative
😄😅😂🤣Reagan = crappy lifeguard , terrible actor and 💩 for brains president. Killed lots of gay men due to his administrations failures. I'm totally embarrassed that he has an airport named after him. All the Kennedys were just THUGS from Papa Kennedy to today's generation.
I couldn't say "only" for sure, but he has for sure been totally consistent with his backbone, moral compass and decades of work for All of Us always as a re-elected mayor, re-elected US representative and still as a re-elected US senator.
Bravo, Senator. I and the rest of Americans were not aware of the cuts to nutrition programs. Too many Congress people are beholding to corporate and dark money to do what is right -- to tax the billionaires and eliminate the tax loopholes. And, oh my God, we are still giving out tax breaks and subsidies to oil and gas companies!! Shameful!!

We need as many "Bernies" now, more than ever! I know he won't put his name on the ballot, but we should write him in - having a third party that could make a difference would, at least, be a warning shot to the other two that "We the Majority of the People" are demanding representation! Sad to think that after only 247 years we're back to having "taxation without representation" of the majority of people. Are we going to have to go back to fighting in the streets to get back a government that actually cares about the welfare of the ordinary person?
If the wealthiest Americans paid the same tax rates as us, we would have an abundance of programs to help advance the poorest Americans and, we would never again have another debt ceiling fight.
@@rickerhart907 If we had more programs to help uplift the poor, and heavier corporate taxes to encourage higher wages, we'd have a massive economic expansion. Most government programs add more dollars to the economy than are put into said programs. They have knock-on effects. However... If the rich just sit there with all that money? And sucking up more? _The market contracts._ Consumers become less financially able to buy stuff...and our economy depends on Americans' ability to buy stuff. _They're workers, but they're the market._ Squeezing labor, as has happened since Reagan, shrinks the consumer market. Right now, the top 10% has 75% of the national wealth, the bottom 50% has less than 2% of the national wealth. That's likely to lead to a 1929-style collapse.
Dick Durban and Sheldon Whitehouse on ethics reform for SCOTUS, Bernie for the poor and middle class. I’ve named 3 Senators where do the other ones stand??,
Thank you Bernie. This is the correct position. It's been really frustrating to see Democrats cheerleading this bill when it takes away SNAP benefits from at least 750,000 people according to a CBPP analysis. The way they excuse it (that there would be a net increase in the number of people receiving SNAP, due to a larger group becoming eligible) is very telling; the intended audience is clearly not anyone who can empathize with those 750,000 people, rather those who see them as chips that can be traded.
Biden doesn't care about those lives. They're targeting poor GenXers with no kids because neither party does well with them. Bernie does. Of course that too will not matter if he doesn't object to this vindictive and panicked legislation. Panicked legislation always has terrible consequences. We are still stupidly living under 9/11 policies that were never rolled back. Now they target poor people dispite the fact that we DO have the resources to house and feed every single poor person in America.
@@LuciTerra666 Is that actually true now, or something heard or read? I ask, seriously, because I'll be 85 in a few days, after worked my entire life as the surprised sole support of two children and myself, and myself later. To get any support, across state lines, back then, required having a lawyer. I checked that out with a couple...and knew I couldn't possibly afford one. My jobs were never near the pay men got for the same level positions. They did include at least some benefits...some better than others, no surprise.
It was all so surreal. He was leading and then Covid hit and important states moved their primaries later on. Then Buttigieg & Co. made a deal to support Biden.
The DNC has Publicly Disavowed the Democratic Constituency in a Court of Law (Florida, 2017) saying: "There is No Such Thing as a 'Democrat'. The DNC is a Private Corporation with No Obligation to Voters." As a Lifelong DEMOCRAT I am appalled. I will Now Only Vote for RFK JR 🇺🇲💙 24.

Been Disabled for Nearly 20 years now Due to Mental Health and Heart issues, I've never been so scared about continuing to receive the help I need so much with food and housing. I've tried returning to work many times but was unable to perform to their standards with the issues I have. I never wanted to have to rely on government help to be able to live on my own but I wasn't given much of a choice and now they want to take what little we get. I live in a small apartment that's not even 300 sq feet and can't afford more than a meal a day yet I'm still struggling to pay a combination of Rent, Utilities and just getting everyday items. Even where I'm at now I've felt fortunate because I have it easier than so many others that also need aide. The world needs more people like Senator Sanders that actually cares for People in Need
I'd like to nominate that we make Bernie Sanders a patron saint at this point. The man has been hard at work for the working class for my entire life and I'll be 42 in July. ✊️
This bastard is voted for every bill that makes the workingman's life a little harder. Bigger government, spending more money than we have, and putting the country further in debt with every vote.

The green new Energy bill added 40% to your Gas, Energy, grocery, etc etc etc. Meanwhile in his career in politics Bernie has accumulated three Mansions, including his newest one on the lake. This old socialist never worked for anything in his life. As always lived on other people's money

It feels like we’re living in a bizarro world where everybody is obsessed over the style of clothes at Target and then there’s one lone senator trying to warn us that the owner class is about to cut food stamps for the elderly
@@rickerhart907 Of course they’re getting cut: the deal would change work requirements for people over 50 in a way that would put nearly a million Americans at risk of losing assistance entirely
@@rickerhart907 What would happen to people who meet the current requirements but do not meet the new requirements? It's fine to argue that the cuts are not unreasonable but that's different from claiming "Nobody's getting anything cut" as you did in your original reply. Your position seems to slip easily between "There are no cuts" and "The cuts are reasonable" and my point is that these are not the same thing. You took issue with me saying that the deal would cut food stamps for the elderly but you haven't explained why you think that description is wrong
He had my vote when he primaried in Michigan, and he won the primary in Michigan. Do not underestemate the primary vote. ALWAYS vote in the primaries... That is where the real vote happens.
@VanguardofFreedom20 This isn't a negotiation. Raising the debt ceiling to pay for the PAST has NEVER been a negotiation. This just shows how feckless, hypocritical and weak Biden is. Note the Military gets MORE money now. Man, I have no clue what planet you're from that can spin that as anything but another Dem FAIL. 🇺🇸
@VanguardofFreedom20 it’s ridiculous to haggle over cuts to the smallest parts of the budget. Audit military spending! If Bernie was in his second term as president right now, the 40% that trump added to the deficit wouldn’t be there. Haggle over the large budget items. Audit military spending. There’s probably more waste in the military budget than the entire social services budget. Take care of our soldiers and veterans.
All the TV news sites say oh this negotiation was a win, well what exactly did people on the left get, nothing. This was a joke Pelosi and Schumer should have passed this when we had both houses. Biden should have minted a coin and paid the debt or he should have envoked the 14th amendment and told the right to go somewhere where the sun don't shine but as usual the democrats love to lose and never do anything for the working class. I'm glad Bernie's always been there for the hundreds of millions of us hard working people day after day.
Thank you Bernie for having the courage and will power to do what these corporations are too spineless to do. Fight for the average America person just trying to survive, I wish we had more people like you here in oklahoma
@@LuciTerra666 Ahh yes, the Book Author who ran for Congress once before running for President. Meanwhile, Bernie was elected Mayor of Vermont's largest city 4 Times. Then he was elected Vermont's US Congressman 8 times, THEN he was elected as a US Senator from Vermont in 2006 and crushes opponents that run against him. Bernie's record, for those who care enough to look it up, speaks for itself. In the race for President,it was Superdelegates that nominated Hillary (you remember her, she lost to the guy who SPOKE the way Bernie spoke but only Bernie had the record of doing what he said). In 2020, some Mayor (yes, I said (only) Mayor) lost to Bernie in Iowa and in NH and yet SOMEHOW was awarded one delegate more than Bernie by the DNC.... I'm Voting for RFK, Jr. in the Primary because Bernie probably won't run. They won't let us have Bobby Kennedy either BUT his record of helping people is more clear than one time Congressional Candidate Marianne Williamson. Another example: How "Progressive" was come from nowhere Obama? Not too much. Well, Joe Biden is shaping up to be more progressive than Obama so far. When the General Election comes around, yes I WILL Vote for Biden. What we need is Ranked-Choice Voting, Broadband Internet access to every US Household (just like FDR brought electricity to every home during the Great Depression), a non-partisan group that draws Election District Maps and a Constitutional Amendment that says Corporations are NOT people and money is NOT Speech (the Repeal of Citizens United and other Dark Money judgments). Ever heard Marianne Williamson talk about any of that? Ever heard of Marianne Williamson DOING any of that before she ran for President? Neither did Trump.
Tell it Bernie! I am disgusted Biden did not remind the GOP of the existence of the 14th Amendment...he did not need to "evoke" the 14th...it is in the Constitution and we all are bound by it...even the GOP.
Bernie Sanders is an absolute Giga Chad and I am so thankful for everything he has done to help people fight against the corporate oligarchy that controls all of our lives.
Preach Bernie!! 🙌 Thank God there's someone who is brave enough to stand up against these people who are willing to cut from programs that the most vulnerable people in this country need and deserve!! 🙏💜
Jennifer Morrow Thank you for posting! I sure agree with you about Bernie. I first learned of him in August 1963, when I opened my Chicago newspaper. There was this photo of a slight young man with tons of curly hair being "helped" to the ground by a policeman for marching against segregation. I'm glad the picture is still on You Tube as "Bernie Sanders and Civil Rights n Chicago." #NotMeUs.

@@practicaliching2311 Your first sentence shows how horribly uninformed you are, which you then confirm but continue to do. There are probably very few who have fought harder or longer--for decades--than Bernie Sanders to try to achieve wage parity for All...and especially for women and those of color. I do more than wonder about any person who chooses to post as you did. Posting a lie is a BIG PROB. Do you understand that? It looks like you chose to do it repeatedly.
So many Americans obviously hate their fellow Americans & have such hostility towards them. They want their countrymen to suffer & live in ill health & poverty. Why?
So they can amass more resources than they can spend in 100 LIFETIMES. They're simply addicted. Addicted to money power and prestige. Untreated addicts eventually come to a point of being willing to do anything for more even as they're sitting on a mountain - enough to elevate a small country. This is how I view this lot.
I think it’s because they only like people that look like themselves. White, old men, “christian“ aholes! You see, I have to put the word Christian in “quotes ”. because I am a follower of Jesus and how they follow is not the way my Bible says to follow …😮
Keep fighting for us Bernie we appreciate you ill be sure to send my appreciation with campaign donations that are within my means. Keep fighting for the people.
As a Scot, I knew a man , a high court judge and Lord of the land, who said to me "everyone needs someone to speak for them" , Bernie Sanders speaks for the forgotten, the don't matters, those who have no voice. What a gentleman, I wish we had him here.
Welfare apparently is bad only when it’s social welfare…. When it’s Corporate Welfare somehow it’s ok because those calling the shots are in each others pockets!
In addition to cutting SNAP benefits, the bill would also end the student loan repayment pause (making a recession more likely), and increases military spending and reduces the IRS's enforcement budget (both of which increase the deficit). It is a bad bill.
@@charlie-obrien is in the language of the bill so it is a part of it. It really shouldn't be what you're saying about it when the backdoor concession involves denying snap. Which can lead to the deaths of poor people. I think that's a bit more important than superficial finances. People come 1st. Not money. A person's life should never be at the mercy of finances.
@@TaxReligionNow I don't disagree with you that it is wrong. After a bit of closet research it appears that the major effect will be that the student loan pause will end 2 months earlier than it was already planned to. This from an NPR article published yesterday. It should be pointed out that the $20k forgiveness is still before the SCOTUS and could survive.
@@charlie-obrien Cutting SNAP is unjust and unnecessary and it will also not result in the savings to pay for military and finance indulgences. In 2021 SNAP: $79 billion Discretionary spending: $153 billion Wealthy tax breaks: while largely unknown it is at minimum $100 billion. Department of Defense(DoD): $740.5 billion Corperate Stock buybacks: $1 Trillionnnnn(a new record that year) Elon Musk net worth: $170 billion Bill Gates net worth: $130 billion SNAP is rather modest.
What a shame the DNC had Sanders dissed in the 2016 election. He would have made a fabulous president. Sanders is the ONLY one in congress who has been fighting for the working class for the last 40 years or so.
on page 99 the writing suggests that the agreement would nullify the use of the 1965 Higher Education Act that gives the secretary of education the authority to #CancelALLStudentDebt Secretary Cardona could do this right now.
You tell them Bernie. Thanks for fighting for people like me who break their back to make a living and pay taxes out the nose. I’m listening you. You and people like you are my voice.
God bless you, Senator Sanders, for standing up for those Americans who will be devastated by this Bill. The Republican Party should be ashamed of themselves. Maybe if McCarthy had to live on the SNAP program or was an American who lost his job and had no health care, things would be different. Once again, the millionaires and billionaires get what they want and McCarthy ponders to them.
Tell it like it is Bernie and the universe bless you for speaking for the common man. Hoping there is an afterlife where these people will be held accountable for the people who died because of their greed. Sure isn't going to happen here.
Great points and it all adds up to the following: to keeping people suppressed to point they are holding the weaker hostage with fixed lower incomes, subject to more pain, more financial hardships that cause more stress, anxiety that leads to more disease, homelessness and inability to be educated. It also builds a coalition of poverty. Poverty is a choice. It's just a form of continued slavery on majority of population, and overpowering the weaker community to maintain the status of the wealthy. Our Constitution declares EQUALITY, but how is it painful for wealthy to pay their taxes and how is it fair that low and middle class bear all the burden to feel the pain... Equality? There isn't equality in the pain and suffering. To remedy inequality, taxes should be on a slide scale to point wealthy feel the burn just as much as the rest of society bearing the burden. Instead their money is used to lobby to keep things as they are to protect the powerful and to maintain slavery and a sick economy. Then society has to resort to guns to manage their anger. A whole other issue that tears society and keeps them in a vicious cycle of negative impacts.
I absolutely agree with you Senator Sanders. I don't expect it to ever be better said with the accuracy and honesty that so many of us like to think are the core elements of our wonderful country. Amen, Brother.
Bernie Sanders should be nominated for the Nobel Peace prize of helping poor people all over the world. How sad that the American people didn't take advantage and vote this man for President 😢
Two excellent points. Thank you! I sure agree! I've occasionally wondered how nominations get drafted and submitted for the Nobel Peace Prize. I've also consistently thought--and still do--that Sanders would qualify as a very strong nominee! I've been posting around in general just a bit again, for two days now, and have seen a number of other posts expressing interest in Bernie for the Nobel....AND, also, for him to make another run for President! One writing, "Third time's the charm, y' know."
Amen !! Senator Sanders, I'm Glad to see that we have a Seantor who's doing his Job. Thank you for your support.for looking out for the ,poor and the we working middle class it's not easy living on $750.00 a month, this is America the land of milk an honey, yet I live in poverty. because I'm on disability.After being hurt on the job.
H Ross perot said pretty much the same thing sanders is saying. Gatt and nafta sent all of the jobs overseas and destroyed the tax base. And when those bills were signed they were rammed through congress in the middle of the night so they knew it was crooked. So the billionaires essentially created the huge debt and who's paying for it. The working class. The biggest problem with that. It will never balance the budget where the billionaires have all of the money.
It is crazy that he's older than all of the most moronic people in politics. As he gets older, it's almost like he gets sharper. He doesn't even look a day older than the days of his 2016 campaign. Compare the things he talks about to Bidens standoffishness, and the things Trump and DeSantis are focused on. None of them would ever talk about working Americans for even the three minutes and sixteen seconds that Bernie has here.
Love you Bernie, thank you for the examples you set. And the demand you have of us all to get involved and be active. Democracy is not a spectator sport!

The 14th Amendment has never been tested in court. If Biden invoked the 14th, which I was for, and the idiotic SC struck it down, the US would immediately be in default if a backup debt limit raise wasn't in law as a precaution.

We need as many "Bernies" now, more than ever! I know he won't put his name on the ballot, but we should write him in - having a third party that could make a difference would, at least, be a warning shot to the other two that "We the Majority of the People" are demanding representation! Sad to think that after only 247 years we're back to having "taxation without representation" of the majority of people. Are we going to have to go back to fighting in the streets to get back a government that actually cares about the welfare of the ordinary person?
If the wealthiest Americans paid the same tax rates as us, we would have an abundance of programs to help advance the poorest Americans and, we would never again have another debt ceiling fight.
And that’s why the Fascists are doing everything they can to tear down this country. They are happy when others suffer.

Thank you Bernie. This is the correct position. It's been really frustrating to see Democrats cheerleading this bill when it takes away SNAP benefits from at least 750,000 people according to a CBPP analysis. The way they excuse it (that there would be a net increase in the number of people receiving SNAP, due to a larger group becoming eligible) is very telling; the intended audience is clearly not anyone who can empathize with those 750,000 people, rather those who see them as chips that can be traded.

In addition to cutting SNAP benefits, the bill would also end the student loan repayment pause (making a recession more likely), and increases military spending and reduces the IRS's enforcement budget (both of which increase the deficit). It is a bad bill.

God bless you, Senator Sanders, for standing up for those Americans who will be devastated by this Bill. The Republican Party should be ashamed of themselves. Maybe if McCarthy had to live on the SNAP program or was an American who lost his job and had no health care, things would be different. Once again, the millionaires and billionaires get what they want and McCarthy ponders to them.
Tell it like it is Bernie and the universe bless you for speaking for the common man. Hoping there is an afterlife where these people will be held accountable for the people who died because of their greed. Sure isn't going to happen here.
Great points and it all adds up to the following: to keeping people suppressed to point they are holding the weaker hostage with fixed lower incomes, subject to more pain, more financial hardships that cause more stress, anxiety that leads to more disease, homelessness and inability to be educated. It also builds a coalition of poverty. Poverty is a choice. It's just a form of continued slavery on majority of population, and overpowering the weaker community to maintain the status of the wealthy. Our Constitution declares EQUALITY, but how is it painful for wealthy to pay their taxes and how is it fair that low and middle class bear all the burden to feel the pain... Equality? There isn't equality in the pain and suffering. To remedy inequality, taxes should be on a slide scale to point wealthy feel the burn just as much as the rest of society bearing the burden. Instead their money is used to lobby to keep things as they are to protect the powerful and to maintain slavery and a sick economy. Then society has to resort to guns to manage their anger. A whole other issue that tears society and keeps them in a vicious cycle of negative impacts.
I absolutely agree with you Senator Sanders. I don't expect it to ever be better said with the accuracy and honesty that so many of us like to think are the core elements of our wonderful country. Amen, Brother.

H Ross perot said pretty much the same thing sanders is saying. Gatt and nafta sent all of the jobs overseas and destroyed the tax base. And when those bills were signed they were rammed through congress in the middle of the night so they knew it was crooked. So the billionaires essentially created the huge debt and who's paying for it. The working class. The biggest problem with that. It will never balance the budget where the billionaires have all of the money.
